Armenian residents' predictions regarding the prospects of EU membership are divided equally

16.3% and 12.1% of respondents in Armenia said that the country "definitely has" and "rather has" prospects for EU membership in the near future. At the same time, 12.1% and 24.6% of respondents answered that "rather not" and "definitely not".

Another 18.5% consider this project a pre-election move by the country's authorities, said Aram Navasardyan, head of the Armenian office of Gallup International.

Recently, the Kremlin has been persistently reminding Yerevan of the impossibility of simultaneous membership in the European Union and the Eurasian Economic Union. According to Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Mikhail Galuzin, Armenia's decision to follow the path of European integration will entail a revision of the established economic relations that currently exist along the Eurasian Economic Union line.

Recently, Armenian President Vahagn Khachaturyan signed a law on the beginning of the country's accession process to the European Union. In early January, the law on Armenia's accession to the EU was approved by the country's government, and by the parliament at the end of March. Let us also recall that, according to Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, the adoption of the law does not mean the country's automatic accession to the European Union - the final decision can only be made in a referendum.
